It’s official–you can’t say “2025” like you’re not in a science fiction flick and here we are. And sure, we haven’t managed flying cars and moon hotels yet, but we have gotten a pretty firm grasp on great music, 90 minutes of which starts as soon as you hit that li’l tipped-over triangle thingy. Happy new year.

No stops on this one. We kick off with a pair of contemporary piano pieces, find our way into the drifty zone, ramp things up with some old-school goodness, and close out, as is often the case here, a bit quietly. And along the way, you get chocolate. Enjoy!

Back into the tanks we go for some spacey drifts, downright hypnotic piano, one amazing song title, and…a cover tune? Don’t look at the playlist before you listen–I think you’ll get a kick out of what it is. (And it’s definitely jazzier than you remember!) Let’s go.

I know what you’ve been thinking, “When will John get around to doing another clever, well-thought-out theme show?” Maybe someday. In the meantime, here’s a very meh theme idea that still gives you 90 minutes of great music. And the title of it is…

As you’ll hear, I thought about it. You know, that theme. Instead, one homage to jazz lettuce and then we’re off into a joyful traipse through the library before delving into some new stuff.
